Larimer Humane Society is committed to providing high-quality veterinary care to animals sheltered here. We also work with the Colorado State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital to advance the practice of shelter medicine.
The Veterinary Services Department spays and neuters over 2,000 animals per year. We also manage the surgeries performed by Colorado State University at the shelter and at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital.
Larimer Humane Society encourages you to establish a relationship with a veterinarian for the health of your pets. To find a veterinarian visit the Colorado Veterinary Medical Association website.

Our veterinary services department provides full-service veterinary
medical care to the animals that come to the shelter in the following
ways:
Preventive Health
Routine health problems such as parasites, upper respiratory
infections, and wounds are being treated promptly. Vaccine protocols
cleaning schedules, deworming products and animal screening are in
place to keep the general population healthier.
Emergency Medicine
Injured and ill animals that are critical or beyond the resources of
the shelter receive 24 hour care via a contractual agreement with
Colorado State University. Shelter equipment is expanding and improving
to increase the level of on-site care.
Rehabilitation
Injured and ill animals that would have been euthanized in the past
now have the opportunity to be treated and go on to become loved
companions.
Education
Junior veterinary students rotate on a weekly basis through the
veterinary department, experiencing all aspects of shelter medicine and
population health. Veterinary technician student labs, internships, and
educational outreach are occurring.
